Fudge Icing Recipe
Description
The fudge icing is prepared by combining granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and whole milk in a saucepan and cooking over medium-high heat until it reaches a hard boil with large bubbles, boiled for one minute. Removing from heat, salted cubed butter and vanilla extract are stirred in, and the mixture is beaten with a wooden spoon until thick and smooth. When poured over a cake, it hardens on cooling to a firm chocolate surface.
This icing works well as a poured layer over sheet cakes and is not suited as a spreadable frosting for layered cakes due to its quick hardening. The rich chocolate flavor is straightforward and classic.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2/3 /3 cup milk whole
- 1/2 /2 cup butter (1 stick) salted, cubed
- 1 1/2 /2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix sugar, cocoa powder, and milk together in a large saucepan.
- Cook over medium-high heat until large bubbles form and reaches a hard boil. Boil one minute at a hard boil. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla.
- Beat with a wooden spoon until thick and smooth.
- Pour over cake. It will harden as it cools.
Notes
- Use this icing immediately after preparation to pour over cakes before it hardens.
- Not recommended as a spreadable frosting on layered cakes because it sets quickly.
- Ensure to boil the mixture for the full minute at a hard boil for proper thickness.
